Sometimes, the enemy comes from within.

Heliran Andel is the greatest fighter her village has ever seen. A warrior with a cause. A hero of the people.

She has shielded the village from dreadful beasts, cursed skeletons, and the desert’s feared Scorpion Riders who terrorize. But she’s never had to protect the village from its greatest threat. A threat from within.

The village leader sends warriors on reckless raids. They fight hopeless battles. Mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, pointlessly lost. No one stands in her way. No one ever has. No one could.

Until Heliran.

Peaceful intervention has failed. Wars still rage. Scorpion Riders threaten the helpless. Warriors are dying. Greed pushes the village to the brink and only Heliran can lead them away from the darkness.

Will she do the unthinkable to save a people?
